Former West Michigan Congressman Pete Hoekstra is one of three Republicans running in next Tuesday’s U.S. Senate Primary. All three candidates have promised to repeal the Affordable Care Act if they’re elected in November. If it were repealed, Hoekstra says he would propose smaller and simpler bills to address specific problems. He spoke with WDET's Pat Batcheller about the health care law, the economy, taxes, and the recent murders of 12 people by a gunman in Colorado.
